Thurs 19th: What's Kyle Bean up to..........?

Here is an update on Kyle Bean who I first blogged about when I discovered his incredible work at the Brighton degree show in June. I don't know whether to be sick all over him or give him a well deserved pat on the back (obvs the latter!) as only 6 months since graduating he has already been working on commissions for Hermes and Libertys! No shovelling shit or schlepping shite for this star.......he's been installing window displays on Sloane Street! For Hermes Christmas windows, Kyle has covered 50 instruments in music manuscript sheets and some suitcases in ordinance survey maps. He teamed up with in-house designer Rebbecca Cox to also make paper fans and canopies to dress the props and products. Here are the instruments at his studio when he finished making them...........which will now be distributed across Hermes UK stores so its not just London who gets this festive treat.............

So 2010 looks to be an exciting year for Kyle ..........rewind 6 months to see his progress and then fast forward 6 months to project potential future projects?!...........

'Multi-talented Fred Butler is quite the east London renaissance girl, with fingers in so many creative pies that they're difficult to tick off.

Of course, there are the splendidly exuberant accessories, wearable sculptures whose sparkle has attracted fashion magpies such as Gaga, Bjork and Nicki Minaj. But there is also custom made prop styling, art directing and film making.
